we haven't genetically altered water at all (I'm sure if the food industry would if they could)...

Cows aren't meant to eat corn like they are meant to eat grass.

They don't digest it as well and it can lead to health issues, even death. To compensate, those cattle are often pumped full of steriods, antibiotics, etc.

Technically, Corn is a grass.

This is why cows can survive on it, for some time.

It's also why it can grow in very tight proximity to other stalks, hence, more profit / sq foot.

When they are put on the corn feed, it produces so much acid that it will literally melt a whole in the side of a cow, where on could reach in and remove stomach contents.

We get it. The problem with corn, as it were, is that it's so tied up in government and it's being used instead of many other sources. It's like our dependance on oil. It's not great.

There is still nothing wrong with corn, though. Just because the government has their dirty hands all over it, doesn't make it bad. If you eliminated corn, they would just find something else in substitution.

If we wish to debate that corn cannot be processed well by the body OR if there are alot of chemicals added to corn, then those are other topics of discussion. Corn in itself is not what is making America fat.

Corn makes you fat. What part of that escapes you?

Corn has the same GI as brown rice...79. This means that insulin reponse is pretty low. Enriched white flour products is much higher and much more carbohydrate dense.

Corn does not make you fat. High fructose corn syrup does. They are not the same.

Ah, OK, so that's what they must feed to livestock.

My bad.
